South 2nd Street, became No. 15 on the Louisville Negro homicide list for 1947, when he died late Wednesday evening, July 2, at Nichols General Hospital.

South 2nd, in connection with the slaying. Anderson incurred the anger of Williams, his next door neighbor, after he was hired on a job from which the latter had been discharged for stealing coal, it was un-officially reported. The victim worked for Thomas Mitchell, 732 South 2nd, a tourist home operator, in front of the double-tenanted house in which the two men lived. Tommy Mitchell, Jr., 13, son of the tourist home operator said the fatal shooting was results of a long standing feud between Anderson and Williams. "Doc used to throw open his door and talk abut Howard loud enough for everyone to hear him," the youth said.

His bond was set at $500 and the case continued in police court until July 14. Police said the accused man was wearing a torn bloody shirt which matched pieces of material gathered at the scene of the crime. Miss Balkcom suffered two black eyes and multiple lacerations of the skin. She told police she lost her shoes and a watch valued at $150 in the struggle. Avery denied his guilt. The young woman said she was on her way home alone from an all night eating est ablishment where she and an out- (Continued on Page 4)
